More mini reviews from books I’ve enjoyed to varying degrees over the last few weeks!
Seasons of the Storm by Elle Cosimano
Rating: ★★☆☆☆ (2.5 Stars)
Release Date: June 23, 2020
DNF @ 56%
I was really excited for this book, because I love nature personified stories and forbidden love seasons against all odds sounded amazing to me. But I just gradually started loosing interest while reading and would go out of my way to pick out another book. I was hoping/expecting a lush fantasy world with a well established environment as the setting, but the story felt much more sci-fi and definitely was a urban fantasy. Which I typically love, it just wasn’t what I was expecting going in. I thought the seasons and the program was well established, and the characters were fine, nothing really grabbed me.

Not Like the Movies by Kerry Winfrey
Rating: ★★★★☆
Release Date: July 7, 2020
This story is exactly what you expect it will be – and that is why you’ll love it.
Nick and Chloe have wonderful chemistry – and their reluctant acceptance that their life might not be dissimilar to a romantic comedy is great to watch. A super addicting read you can revisit again and again , like your favorite Rom-Com.

Our Time is Now by Stacey Abrams
Rating: ★★★★★

Keep My Heart in San Francisco by Amelia Diane Coombs
Rating: ★★☆☆☆ (2.5 Stars)
Release Date: July 14, 2020
| This might’ve had the most ridiculous premise of any book I’ve ever read, but I had fun. Trying to save her family’s failing bowling alley by going undercover and hustling games to try and make eight grand in a week with her former best friend and crush, Chuck Wilson has a lot on her plate. Many hi-jinks and adventures ensure in this story. I enjoyed seeing Chuck and Beckett’s relationship reform after a fallout in freshman year but the actual plot is so wacky it was definitely hard to take it seriously at time. But it was still a quick and light-hearted read.
